An appropriate balance between soil air and soil water must be maintained since soil air is displaced by soil water. Air can fill soil pores as water drains or is removed from a soil pore by evaporation or root absorption. The network of pores within the soil aerates, or ventilates, the soil. This aeration network becomes blocked when water enters soil pores.
